"and'at the same time, may be readily removed for use. i

I Figure 1 is a side structe'd according In carrying out my invention-I have combined with a pencil or pencil holderswhich may be of any convenient form or construction an extension in the .'form of'a crook or which in connectionwith the pencil or holder is adapted to be inserted in the hair, and held against accidental displacement,

In the .accomp anying drawing which forms a part of this application I have shown a. 25

preferred and a modified'form of my inven tion in the following views zelevation of apencil conto my invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on an enlarged scale of the pencil portion of the invention; Fig. 3 is an elevation of a modification of the device shown in Fig. 1 Fig. 4 is a fragmentary longitudinal section on an enlarged scale of portions of the device shown in Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 5 represents the extension portion of my invention whichis made of bone, celluloid, hard rubber or other suitable substance formed in -the shape of a crookforloop having inwardly extending port1ons6 and 7 and an outwardly tapering end 10. The end of the extension adjacent to-the part 7 is inserted in a hollow. pencil tube 8 of ordinary construction and is held rigidly therein by fianging the end of the tube as atll and causing s'aid flanges to engage a corresponding annular recess or oove in the extension;

112. sidn is formed with external spiral threads as clearlyshown in a 1g. 2. The pencil is supplied with "a lead9 and may be. ofthe'design shown or any other or construction.

suitable design Fig. 3, thejpint between the As shown in pencil 8 and the extension is covered by an elhptical rubber eraser 14, which has" a double function in that it not onlyserves as an'eraser tion 6'of holding the device in the hair.

As shown infFig; ithe inner end of the but also cooperates with theporpencil. holder 8, is'formed with spiral threads.

and the 'corresp0nding end of the exten- 13 which are" adapted to be screwed into the covered by the" rubber l4. When made according to this; modificationif the pencil holder should become broken or worn out, a I

It is also obvious that instead of making the pencil holder hollow and the extension solid, I may reverse the construction without defrom the essential functions and parture principles of that various joining a hair pencil or pencil hdlder allwithin the scope lain my invention. It is also for methods may be utilize of my invention. I

Having thus described my invention what- 3. A penc1l,cons1stmg of a lead holdin member and a crook member connecte en aging extension with a I to cooperate with the crook member to grip 5 the article to which the device maybe .at-
